Betting on the Caulfield Cup
To bet well on the Caulfield Cup, punters must know the qualification process. Once they know how well the horses and jockeys did in the qualifying rounds, they can better predict the odds of the horses’ performance in the Cup. In other horse races, the fact that a jockey and horse have won is a significant sign of guaranteed win in the next race. However, the Caulfield Cup is one of the most unpredictable races, which is what makes it so interesting. In the past 20 years only one jockey has won the cup twice, Craig Williams in 2011 and 2012
